More than 200 people have been arrested after cars and shops were set on fire as trouble flared in Tottenham, with a series of "Copycat" riots breaking out across several boroughs in north, south and east London.

Mark Duggan, whose shooting by police sparked the disturbances, used Blackberry Messenger to send his last message to his girlfriend, Semone Wilson, 29, writing: “The Feds are following me."

In Tottenham news of Duggan’s shooting – and the rumours about whether he fired on police first – were spread by Blackberry.

As the violence erupted, news of the disorder spread quickly on the social network, Twitter, with photos of burning police cars circulating, drawing more participants from across the capital.
